I was reading your first sentence and $49.99 popped into my head as I was reading. $150 is too much for something I probably will not use in the long term but would like to play with.

And even then you'll be in for a rough ride. It is a 90'ies operating system with driver updates to bring it into the 21st century crouching on its knees. I don't want to be a troll, but even in the 2000-2001 timeframe when I played with it, it was quite instable, ugly, and outdated. The competition for this system was Windows 95, and those days are long gone.
